Why must Christians hate what God hates?

Answered in 1 source

Christians are called to hate what God hates to demonstrate true allegiance to Him and to reflect His holiness in their lives.

Proverbs 6 outlines things that God hates, such as haughty eyes and a lying tongue. When Christians develop a hatred for these evils, they are not only aligning themselves with God's character but also affirming their identity as His children. This hatred is not emotional but stems from a righteous understanding of God's justice and mercy. Loving what God loves and hating what He hates demonstrates that we are not passive in our faith but actively engaged in the battle against sin and worldliness. The Lord detests injustice, lies, and divisions among brethren, urging believers to embody His truth and love in their interactions.
